Survivors Reunite is dedicated to fighting domesticviolence through the laws. We as survivors and our supporters, who are committed to seeing an end to abuse. Too often, we hear from survivors who share their stories that the enacted laws do little to protect survivors. Many of them have found themselves victimized once again by the legal system, the courts and law enforcement agencies. As a result, individuals have joined forces to take a stance against domestic violence through changing the laws. In a grassroots, nationwide effort, our volunteer members are working in every state to change the legislation that affects domestic violence and it's survivors.

Survivors Reunite is dedicated to making adifference in the lives of those who are affected byabuse. We advocate for legislation that will protectand empower all survivors, whether they still remainin or have left the abusive relationship.

(HOW IT IS GOING TO WORK/ OPERATE)The Web site is key since it will be our way to communicate with all the leader from all 50states that are all fighting for the same laws we have all come together and shared. Then fromthere it is key to communicate with our head board leaders form our states. To make sure weare all on the same page legally and doing our prep work the right way before starting anyballots, petition, legislation, and speaking out. Positions roles are needed for where eachHead Leader's stands in each state. It is key for communication. We have certainresponsibilities and roles for different leaders in each state to take apart of to be able tooperate functionally and stay organize. So our organization can run smoothly. (Please readLeaders').

The (Survivors Reunite) Official Web Site is already here making a difference and easy for thepublic nationwide to get involved and help make a difference. By supporting, printing out andsigning petition to help support our legislation, going to our rallies to gather voters signaturesfor the ballot, also to help with our fund raisers and donations.

The web site is where we will send the public to be able to click and view the State they live inand view Pending status of Legislation, Ballots and Petition to support our Legislation. Alongwith the ones that have passed or not passed. Along with viewing hearing on bills to be able tobe there to support the new law. Be able to view events, rallies, sponsors', head leaders',resources, education on DV, purchase domestic violence awareness merchandise to helpsupport Survivors Reunite, donations and learn how to get involved.

There is going to be a print out forums section where the public can print out our legislationand forums that has the very same legislation new law information on it for the public to beable to Legally sign, date, address and put there phone number on, swearing they Herby livein that county and have read the legislation and support it 100% also, they can have others fillit out and write there own personal letters supporting it. By mailing back to the main mailingaddress for there Head State Leader of Survivors Reunite in there state. There will be acontact information, about us, and how they can help and be apart of (Survivors reunite) inthere state.

We work hard and will be in the public passing out the same print outs off the official SurvivorsReunite website on the legislation along with the forums for the public to fill out and sign. Thenfor the public to mail back to main mailing address on top of each forum. Or send the public toour web site to be able to Print Out.

We need to be able to get permission from any where that will let us do what we need to do toget out our petition and ballot signature and be able to leave flyer's and events with all of ourorganization information on it. It's going to take a lot of leg work, time and patience to be ableto think of every way to get our voices heard. In the end it will be worth it, knowing the manylives we have transformed through awareness, education and legislation.

We need to be able to go speak with other Domestic Violence nonprofit organizations, womenshelters, police stations, DV events in our towns, Victims advocates, courts, library's, colleges, churches, media, new papers, networking, any where to advertise and will let us legally and tohelp raise money for our cause.

(WHEN TIMES COMES TO SUBMIT LEGISLATORS AND BALLOT!)Here is where it is VERY KEY, once the HEAD STATE LEADER, receives all copies of mailedin signatures for our petition for supporting that very certain legislation. The head State Leaderwill then with the donation funding, Make copies of every single petition forums with signaturesand letters supporting our legislation and make copies for each County Head Leader andState records. Then with hope for every single Head County Leader will all at the SAME TIMESUBMIT the LEGISLATOR with all the copies of petition signatures and letter supporting ourlegislation provided from the Head State Leader to our county's STATE REPRESENTATIVEAND STATE SENATE.

This is with all the proven back up to support our legislation from other people who live in thatcounty that want our legislation to become LAW. There should be no good reason why theState representative/ State senate would not want to submit the legislation into a new bill. Withso many of the local residents all ready supporting it. In hopes of each individuals and stateworkers would seriously consider fighting for our legislation with enough citizens supporting itall the way!

Our mission and goal is to have every single State Representative and State Senate ( TO ALLFIGHT FOR THE SAME BILL) at the same time, This will give us a lot more of a chance to getit to pass in to a new law! Along with letting the public know when the hearings take place tohelp come speak along with us in supporting the new law or law change.

If that fails, It is time to take it to the BALLOT and let the people of our state make it into a newlaw. If it fails, we keep at it till the day it gets pass through the voting ballot and becomes alaw! Survivors Reunite believes in fighting for a better and safer future for our futuregenerations to come. It starts with us and everyone of you to make a big impact on helping toend domestic violence by fighting back through the laws and awareness!

It's Key to do our research and know the laws and especially under victims rights. You willcome across of a lot of victims that remain silence for safety or what ever reason and wouldwant you to be able to speak and make there voices be heard for them with out giving themaway personally.

Everyone who choose to be a volunteer leader is fully responsible for there own actions andsafety and to others. There is always a risk when taking on speaking out in the public inmaking LAW change. It's politics and there may be people that will try to discourage you in anyway to keep you from making a difference and fighting for what is right.

BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WHEN WE ALL COME TOGETHER!FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS RIGHT! MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND SAVE LIVES! ITONLY TAKES ONE!
